About

As the President of SAP Asia Pacific, I am privileged to lead a remarkable team of over 30,000 employees. Together, we aim to deliver business value to our customers across the region, helping to unlock Asia’s innovation potential and sustainable future. Having spent 25 years building, selling, and implementing IT solutions in Asia Pacific, working with some of the world's leading software companies, including Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle, and most recently leading Splunk in Asia Pacific, I have built a deep understanding of our industry and region. The pace of change in our environment is faster than ever before. That’s why I try to maintain a growth mindset and be curious, as I believe being open, searching for insights and learning new things is what helps us achieve great outcomes. I am passionate about the power of digital transformation, now fueled by AI, and its ability to unlock a whole new world of opportunities for businesses, organisations and communities.
